AI summary of the source article

THORChain rejected a request from Bitget to block transactions linked to a $387.5 million hack, maintaining that it operates as a decentralized and permissionless network. In contrast, NEAR Intents used its automated SHIELD system to block over $50 million and freeze roughly $503,000 tied to the attack. The differing responses highlight an ongoing debate over censorship resistance and potential legal liabilities for decentralized protocols.
